AFTER A BLACK BEAR 85 



" There's another of those bristly beasts ! " 



No ! Balu ! " 



Do ! " 



" Sure enough ! Two bears ! " 



Slowly they were winding their way amongst some 

 brushwood on the dark side of the hill. I wanted to 

 try and get a shot at them with the help of the 

 telescope, but the target became more indistinct 

 every minute, and at last the two animals disappeared 

 beneath the bushes. We caught one or two more 

 glimpses of their silhouettes, but always at a greater 

 distance off, and before long the veil of evening 

 hid them from our sight.
